The MONSTRO VV 8K is arguably the best camera on the planet right now.
The full-frame sensor boasts up to 17 stops of dynamic range and can record the full image circle of full-frame 35mm lenses. You can also use Super 35mm lenses with a windowed capture area for high frame rate recording. Sitting in front of the full-frame sensor is an interchangeable PL mount. This way, you can use industry-standard cinema lenses right out of the box, or exchange the mount to use alternative photo and video lenses.
REDCODE RAW is the format of choice for DSMC2 cameras. RED’s versatile raw codec uses wavelet compression to reduce data rates while maintaining a visually lossless image rendering. This efficient codec can be edited on many available NLE software programs without transcoding. Though if you prefer a proxy workflow, ProRes or DNx files can be recorded simultaneously to the MINI-MAG media. Lowering the recording resolution allows the sensor to capture higher frame rates for dramatic slow-motion footage. Our DSMC2 cameras use sensor windowing to record slow motion in lower resolutions, requiring wider or smaller-format lenses to compensate for the additional crop.
Recording rates range from 12 fps and up, including 24/25/30/48/50/60 fps and higher.
With superior image quality and best-in-class resolution, RED EPIC-W with HELIUM 8K S35 sensor allows content creators everywhere to deliver ultra-detailed still and motion images.

The Canon 7D’s all-new CMOS sensor records high definition video at a maximum resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels with a 16:9 aspect ratio — what’s sometimes referred to as “Full HD”, or 1080i/1080p.
Both NTSC modes of 23.976 or 29.97 frames/second and PAL modes of 23.976 or 25 frames/second are available at full resolution. The full resolution can be downsampled in-camera to produce 1,280 x 720 (720p) resolution movies, with the NTSC mode using 59.94 frames/second, and the PAL mode offering 50 frames/second.
Finally, a standard definition 4:3 aspect ratio mode captures 640×480 pixel (VGA) movies, again with 59.94 frames/second in NTSC or 50 frames/second in PAL. The numerous different frame rates match various broadcast television formats etc., removing the need to transcode to the intended output frame rate after capture

Zaxcom is well known for the high-quality sound of its pure-digital wireless mic systems. While there are some competing brands with digital systems on the fringes that may eventually need to be considered, Zaxcom is currently the only significant player.
The range of the Zaxcom TRX742 system is well within the needs of most productions, and when the goal is to have the wireless boom sound as much like a hard-wired mic as possible, Zaxcom is the clear leader. While the Zaxcom TRX742 plug-on transmitter can turn any mic that has a 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector into a wireless simply by plugging it on, the most challenging use for a wireless system is the boom mic for dramatic dialog. So this review will be limited to the wireless boom.
Zaxcom has added versatility to the TRX742 transmitter with changeable XLR input adapters, which Zaxcom calls “cones”. There is a 3-pin cone for standard microphones (48V phantom), a 5-pin cone for stereo microphones (48V phantom), and 3-pin digital cones for both AES-3 and AES-42 microphones (10V phantom).
Sanken has introduced the COS-11D, which overcomes RFI (radio frequency interference) from the digital transmitter.
In today’s wireless transmission systems the microphone must remain unaffected by new forms of digital transmitter signals. They present new challenges in the area of emission protection. In many cases, noise levels increase and the S/N ratio is deteriorated by the interference of digital transmitters. Sanken has designed the COS-11D specifically to diminish the instances where interference is an issue. The COS-11D is an omnidirectional lavalier microphone. This microphone has been fitted with the TA5 Universal locking connection for Lectrosonics transmitters.
K-Tek has always considered the boom pole to be an extension of the audio professional’s arm.
It is essential that a good boom pole has a natural design that simply extends the reach of the microphone, quietly and lightly towards the sound or voice being recorded.

- Dual calibrated right and left side focus and T-stop scales allow your focus puller to work from either side of the lens, without having to flip the lens in the mount.
- Each lens in the Xeen series share common focus and iris gear ring positions, which speeds up lens changes as accessories such as follow focus units or iris motors don’t have to be re-positioned.
- The common 114mm front diameter allows for quick lens changes as you don’t have to swap out anti-reflection donuts or adapters to use the same matte box.
- “Clickless” aperture ring for smooth iris pulls.
- A minimum focusing distance of 18″ allows you to get up close to your subject.

The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX Autofocus Lens for Nikon DX-Format DSLRs is an ultra wide angle, short zoom range lens specifically designed for use with select Nikon DX-format digital SLR cameras.
The slightly shorter zoom range of this lens over the popular and award winning 12-24mm lens makes it possible to maintain optical quality even at wide-open apertures. This lens features a fast constant aperture of f/2.8, and provides a focal length equivalent to 16.5-24mm in 35mm format.
As part of the AT-X line, this lens is designed to provide excellent optical quality, and offers advanced features like the WR (Water Resistant) front element, its One-touch Focus Clutch Mechanism, that allows the photographer to switch between AF and MF simply by snapping the focus ring forward for AF and back toward the camera to focus manually. Also, it has a 9-bladed aperture for smooth out of focus areas.
The Rokinon 14mm Cine Lens is made especially for DSLR video enthusiasts, videographers, and cinematographers.
It features the same outstanding image quality as the standard Rokinon 14mm F3.1 lens but has the added benefits of de-clicked apertures and follow focus compatibility. De-clicked apertures mean that there are no hard clicks when changing apertures and the aperture can be manually set to a very specific number (like f/3.8, f/5.2). The lens has also been constructed so that it can be easily attached to follow focus systems which are widely used by videographers.
Designed as a reference lens for the M-mount system, the black Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. from Leica is a versatile normal-length prime characterized by its bright maximum aperture and sophisticated optical design.
Comprising eight elements in five groups, the lens features one aspherical element to reduce spherical aberrations and both anomalous partial dispersion and high refractive index glasses are used to control color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity. Additionally, a floating elements system is used to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range, down to 2.3′. Additionally, the lens features a built-in extendable lens hood and is threaded to accept 46mm screw-in filters.
The Helios 44mm produces an unusual “swirly” bokeh effect to the out-of-focus background.
The bokeh “circles” become more elliptical in shape as you move away from the center of the photo. This optical phenomenon gives images rendered by these vintage lenses a distinct character, which has created a cult following among fine art photographers.
The Canon 50mm f/1.2 L Aspherical Floating-Element lens is the most optically advanced 50mm manual-focus lens ever sold anywhere.
It’s got more technology in it than anything from Nikon or LEICA, who have never put aspheric and floating elements in any of their 50mm f/1.2 lenses.
This 50/1.2L works on all Canon FD-mount cameras, from early cameras like the FTb of 1971 up to the newest AE-1 Program and New F-1 and T90 of the 1980s.
The Sigma 18-35mm T2 Cine High-Speed Zoom Lens with a Canon EF mount and with focus scales marked in feet provides an image circle that covers Super 35mm-sized sensors.
It features a maximum T-stop of 2, and the aperture does not ramp over the zoom range. It shares common lens gear positions with the other lens in the Sigma High-Speed Zoom lineup, which makes for rapid lens changes.
The 9-bladed iris provides round out-of-focus highlights for a natural-looking bokeh. The lens barrel features 180° of rotation from close focus to infinity, the zoom barrel rotates 160°, and the clickless iris ring features 60° of rotation. All three lens control rings are geared with cine-standard 0.8 Mod gears, and the focus scale is marked in feet. The front of the lens is 95mm in diameter with a removable 1/4″-20 support foot that helps support the lens with the aid of a 1/4″-20 rod-mounted lens support (not included).
